PURPOSE: To describe an unusual fundus abnormality in eyes after trauma and its pathophysiologic basis. METHODS: Prospective, observational case series of five consecutive male patients who suffered retinal vascular occlusions after ocular contusion. RESULTS: We present five cases of retinal vascular occlusions following ocular contusion, found on routine fluorescein angiography in otherwise healthy individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Different patterns of retinal vascular occlusions can occur in ocular trauma. The pathogenesis of these occlusions may be related to direct damage to the endothelium.
